Priscilla Presley, who wasn't a part of the press conference for Sofia Coppola's Venice competition film «Priscilla,» shared her emotions from the audience. She talked about the movie and her late husband, Elvis Presley.
«It's tough to watch a film about your life and love,» she said, holding back tears. «But Sofia did a great job. She did her research, and I shared everything I could with her.»
Regarding her relationship with Elvis, whom she met at 14, Presley mentioned that her parents found it hard to understand why Elvis was interested in her. She described herself as a listener in their relationship.

«I'm here to support independent film and my crew as a director and producer. I fully support the union's efforts for fair compensation,» she said. «I hope it's resolved soon, as we all want to get back to work.»
«Priscilla,» based on the 1985 memoir «Elvis and Me» by Priscilla Presley and Sandra Harmon, will have its world premiere on the Lido on Monday evening.
